“This is either the unluckiest guy in the world whose two wives have died under freakish, unusual circumstances,” says Brian Maass. “Or, perhaps, it’s something far more sinister. It could be murder.”

Maass recalls the “cryptic” anonymous email he received about the freakish death of Henthorn’s first wife. Lynn, that prompted the reconsideration of Henthorn’s version of what happened to Toni in 2012.

Maass, longtime investigative reporter at CBS4, is billed as a consultant to “48 Hours.” With his contributions, correspondent Peter Van Sant and “48 Hours” investigate the deaths of Henthorn’s two wives through interviews with family members, co-workers, friends of the deceased, a former Douglas County coroner and an accident reconstruction specialist.

Joanne Ostrow has been watching TV since before "reality" required quotation marks. "Hill Street Blues" was life-changing. If Dickens, Twain or Agatha Christie were alive today, they'd be writing for television. And proud of it.
